Dallas independent film receives big-screen treatment in limited run

A film hitting theaters on December 2 has deep Dallas ties. Called Three Days in August, it was written, directed, produced, and edited by locals, and it has a special limited run at Studio Movie Grill for one week only.

Along with a slew of Texas actors, producers, and writers, the film was edited at Lucky Post in Oak Lawn. It also includes many Dallas and Texas culture references; try to spot all the Four Corners Brewing Co. beers when you watch. But it isn’t just the Texas roots that make the movie special.
